Letter: Showing Picture ID No Big Thing

“I don’t want to give them my picture ID when I go to vote.” That statement I overheard while shopping at a local grocery store today.

Now let’s see, when you cash a check, open a checking and savings account, apply for a safety deposit box, apply for a loan or conduct any other legal business at your bank, they will ask for your driver’s license. When you stay at a hotel, they ask for your driver’s license. When you fly on a plane, you have to produce your driver’s license at the ticket counter.

When my son goes to a military base, you bet he has to show his ID, and when he leaves the country, he has to show ID.

What more important thing is there in this world than your good, old American ID when you vote for your representative in Washington because it is at that time that the people speak loudly and clearly?
